Ok I have couple of problems, I just started using OpenSuse and I have couple of problems.
Codecs problems, I can’t play most of the video formats and none has audio nor I can play mp3, I installed all codecs available plus VLC player, SMPlayer and one other but no luck. This is what VLC says:
Best to put one problem per thread otherwise it gets confusing
I’ll address codecs
All proprietary codecs come from packman. OpenSUSE is open only after all
So in Yast -Repository manager you will need to add the community repo known as packman. Then need to switch all multimedia stuff to that repos. Easy way is via zypper. get a list of your repos.
zypper lr -d
note the number of the packman repo say it is #
then
zypper dup --from #
Note ruby may be a problem since Yast is now written in Ruby and installing a newer version may be a problem. Someone may have a way but I don’t know it and you do not want to directly replace the version of Ruby that comes with the system because that will break Yast
Adding repos from other distros could be a problem since they may or may not use RPM and use the same conventions. In essence you do not want to do that.
#1 for propitiatory codecs openSUSE needs the packman repo so do as gogalthorp said, or list your current repo’s
zypper lr -d
#2 at the moment the stable available version of Ruby for LEAP is 2.1 https://software.opensuse.org/package/ruby
but you can get a newer version from one of the user repo’s
2.2.4 is available from home:/digitaltomm
as 2.2 has landed in TumbleWeed LEAP will probably get an update soon #3 about python-gnomedesktop https://software.opensuse.org/package/python-gnomedesktop
seams to be missing from the LEAP OSS repo this could be a bugzilla moment https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/
report that python-gnomedesktop is missing for LEAP but it’s available for 13.1 13.2 and TW
in the meantime you can get it from the Gnome:Factory repo
just add that repo and zypper or yast will be able to find it
zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Factory/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/GNOME:Factory.repo
#4 Kali is a Debian based and uses the deb packages, you can convert some deb packages to rpm with alien https://software.opensuse.org/package/alien
it’s not in the main OSS repo but you can install it from the utilities repo
zypper in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/utilities/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/x86_64/alien-8.88-3.1.x86_64.rpm
alien can convert deb’s to rpm’s but it’s better to search for a particular package from an openSUSE repository then to use a binary for another distribution, if you need a package search here https://software.opensuse.org/find #5 I think it’s a problem with the filename rename the installer to FoxitReader.enu.setup.1.1.0.0225.r205262.x64.run (remove the brackets) and try again
I do not think that fruitful.
You have a problem and must advertize to draw the attention of people who think that they can help you in that subject. When you do not have a title that lures them into opening the thread, you will have not the best support the forums can offer.
In any case, do not mix several problems in one thread… The result will be a mess, where many people will not know what answer is to what problem. Many people will simply skip such a thread because they don’t lik to have to wade through such a rubbish and search for the tiny bits that belong to the subject they want to help with.
It’s good that you fixed your issues.
This is a fun loving place if you have any issues you can ask and someone will help you
ps.
Did you add packman?
you need to do a full vendor change to make sure all multimedia comes from there.
As you didn’t post your repo list I won’t make comments about how to add it and do a vendor change with packmen
for now everything is good I hope I’ll transfer to opensuse completely…
